The Holocaust, The French And The Jews

Zuccotti (modern European history, Barnard College & Columbia U.) argues that the French reaction to the Holocaust, when judged by the awful standards of the rest of the world, was not as reprehensible as it has been portrayed. She draws on memoirs, government documents, and personal interviews with survivors to chronicle some of the stories of ambiguity and betrayal, as well as those of courageous protection.
